Those of us who are truly concerned about the plight of Soviet Jews need to be as strong in our activities and convictions as are the Soviets in their repression of religious freedom. In the face of heightened government efforts to discourage Jews from practicing their faith. both the citizenry and Government of this Nation must react in equal measure. Sometimes. it is the wellknown activist. familiar to literary. political. or artistic circles in the West that becomes the focus of a successful campaign for emigration or release from prison. We need to remember that there remain thousands of unsung heroes in the Soviet Union. whose jobs may not be notable. and their memoirs never published. They are the ones who need our continued petitioning. writing. and calling.
